I like #1 and #4, but I tend to lean towards the more subtle spoilers. Don't let me influence you though, get what makes you happy.

You and I are thinking the same thing madnezz

One thing I noticed : I think the roadster NEEDS a spoiler. I had forgotten to latch the trunk one day, and was driving around. I got it up to about 80, and WHAM, the trunk flew open. That's a LOT of lift going over the back of that car. It takes . . . what, 30, 40 lbs of force to start the trunk lifting? I imagine that a good spoiler, setup properly, would make a significant difference in the handling of the vehicle at higher speeds.

Does anyone have access to a windtunnel or something? I imagine the spoiler would have to be set up at a certain angle to provide effective downforce, instead of just creating drag. I know there's a couple of engineers bouncing around here, help us out

#4

350 is the one car that doesn't need a spoiler for looks.

I like it better without.

Currently you can buy the NISMO replica. I believe there are a few months before the actual NISMO is available. So I wouldn't really call it new.

Couldn't've said it better myself. When my dealer tried to sell me a Z with an aero package I kinda cringed and asked what else he had.

#3 is the Nismo isn`t it? Sure it may be a replica, but who can tell the difference?

# 4 is the Data Systems Illusion spoiler.
Very nice and subtle. I'm going to get that wing with a veilside front lip when I get my DB Z next month.

You can buy it here:

If it were me, and I wanted to buy a NISMO wing for my Z, I would buy a NISMO wing for my Z. I'd rather save up and buy the real thing than one that looks like the real thing just because it's cheaper. But that could just be me.
